X. jackson, were driving down the main
thoroughfare of the city when one of the

struck the Governor and Mr. Jackson in
stead of the horse. The accident has created

An Invention for windmills.

Windmi!ls are a very ancient inven-
ton, but are not Of much practical value
ina country where fuel is cheap, from
the extreme iiregulaYity Of the wind
upon which they depend. 1t is hoped
that a remedy for this defect has been
found by the Due De Feltre in the trans
formation Of the surplus energy of windy
weather by causing it to drive dynamo,
thus converting it into electricity, with
which he charges batteries of storage
cells, These in turn can be utilized to
drive the machinery in time Of calm.
Any such plan is, of course, attended by
a very large waste OF power, but when
the original quantity is SO enormous as it
is in a gale Of, wind, waste is matter of
very little moment. Before the world is
many generations older more attention
will have TO To given to the question Of
yoking the great forces Of nature to our
machinery and utilizing the enormous
energy Of the winds, waves and tides,
not to mention water power and the di-
rect radiation from the sun. Our store
of coal will doubtless last for many 6
long day to come, but we ought not tc
forget that we are race of spendthrifts
living on our capital, and that we mus
not miss any opportunity of economizine
the limited resources of our estate

Such cases as these are not, however,

All the resorts in Colorado known to
mo where one can obtain the comforts Of
life essential to improvement are at an
altitude of several thousand feet, and
this fact or some other unexplained cause
seems to create necessity requiring
those who improve or recover there to
continue their residence il. order to main
tain their Improvement. I cannot claim
that this theory has been proven, but it
is sufficiently believed to demand consid-
eration. So many invalids have been
sent to Colorado only to die, being be-
yond the possibility of recovery any
where, that | think additional knowl-
edge from careful observation of results
is essential to the formation of q satisfac-
tory opinion in regard to the effects upon
those seriously diseased.
For those slightly diseased, CT with Il
delicacy arising from hereditary tenden-
ey, Colorado seemingly ought to be one
of the best resorts. It has one marked
advantage in having its mountain resorts
and.ligh attitudes for summer within a
few hours from Denver. The air Of Col
orado is exceptionally fine and bracing
both in summer and winter, and very
comfortable places to reside may be
found for both seasons. For such az
